FINDING HER: THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING FLIGHT


“May their souls rest in peace. They will always remain with us in our hearts” Said an elderly priest at the 3 year memorial of the crash of National Airline.
I walked near the memorial site, there were pictures of all the 200 passengers there. I went closer and stood near the picture of my wife Ana. I remember three years ago on this very day, I gave her a tight hug.
“Robbie don’t worry, it’s just a matter of five days and I will be back from my meeting” She said to me.
“I know it’s just five days. But just that I will miss you a lot, just want these five days to pass fast.” I said to her
“I am just going to Australia honey, we will skype the moment I reach” Ana said.
“But what about cooking, cleaning and other house work.” I joked with her.
“You are so stupid” She said pinching my hand.
“I will really miss you. Now go and come back soon” I said kissing her forehead.
I stood there as she walked away, I kept looking at her till she went out of my sight.


“Hey Robbie, I how are you?” Said a man to me as he tapped my shoulder.
“I am ok, still not able to digest the fact she is gone” I said as I wiped my tears.
“Was the same for me, I lost a close friend of mine in the same crash. It took me time but I realized I had to move on” He said
“I am glad you did” I said and tried to walk away.
“Robbie, I know you still believe that this crash was just a made up story. I really feel you should move on too by just digesting the fact” He said.
“At first they say the flight is gone missing, I had hopes my Ana will come back in to me five days. But in five days they declared that the flight crashed into the ocean. They have no solid proof, no bodies were found not even any part of the flight either.” I said in anger.
“All I am saying is that it’s been 3 years now and you have to move ahead” He said.
“Leave him alone, he has lost his mind. He sailed across the ocean twice looking for his wife” Said another man.
I ignored them and walked away. Yes, I did sail twice to the very place the flight had gone missing. Because I strongly believe there is something else to this story, I believe Ana is still out there and I will find her. What I saw in the ocean made me believe the fact even stronger that it was not a crash.

I took out my keys to open the door, I realized the door was already open. I slowly walked in looking around. I switched on the lights.
“Welcome home Robbie” Said a man sitting on the sofa.
“Who are you and how did you enter in?” I asked him.
“You sailed the ocean twice looking for proof, the first time with John the husband Sarah who was also dead in the same crash and the second time alone” He said.
“How do you know about all this? How do you know his wife’s name?” I asked him.
“You do have a lot of questions. I will answer them all but not here” He said
I suddenly was hit on my head from behind and things began to fade as I lost my conscience.

It was really cold, I looked around. I was in a small room with no windows, it looked more of a prison cell.

The door suddenly opened and the strange man who was in my house entered.
“Robbie, sorry about the way we got you here. I am Ralph investigator for the National Airline case. We are the UWS, united world security. Our location is a secret, just like most of our high profile cases.”
“Why did you get me here? Do you know something about my wife? Where is she now?” I asked in panic as I dint know what’s going on.
“We read various posts you have put online regarding this case. What exactly happened when you sailed in the ocean? What did you find?” Ralph asked me as he walked around.
“John had told me that there is this Island in the middle of the ocean which he had spotted once as he had sailed the route before me to. He said that the Island was not in any of the maps not even on the satellite maps. When we sailed together we were not able to spot the Island because of the bad foggy weather, so we had planned to sail again. But unluckily John met with a car accident and is no more.” I said.
“But you sailed on your own too. What did you spot?” He asked me.
“I did spot the Island. John was right. It was a small Island with red flags all round it” I said.
“Oh my god! Did you tell anyone about it? Like the local cops anyone?” Ralph asked
“No I dint, I dint know who to trust on this, if the Island can hidden on the map it’s hard to trust who all are involved in this” I said.
“Well, you did the right thing. This news should not spread” He said as he lit up his cigar.
“We need to make a quick move in this Ralf before it’s too late.” I said
Ralph walked close to me. I saw anger in his eyes as he walked closer to me. My heart began to beat faster. He caught me by my collar and pushed me towards the wall and kicked my stomach hard. I fell on the ground and looked up at him.
“UWS, United World Security is what we are and we are responsible for the safety of this world no matter what it takes us to do so. We provide weapons and arms to army to keep their countries safe.” Ralf said in anger.
“What did you do with national airlines?” I asked.
“Relax, that was just our deal with a terror group, they need about 200 people and a passenger flight and we gave it to them” He said it so lightly like he just gave a beggar some coins.
“So that how you protect the world?” I asked in anger.
“Haha yes we protect the world by providing them weapons to defend them self’s. They pay us for the weapons and we do business too. The terrorist group just demanded for 200 people to start a war and every war needs weapons. So you see it all comes to business.” He said and continued smoking.
At that moment I just wanted to run to Ralph, take out his gun from his belt and shoot him.
“Your friend John was close too, so that accident was also made up as you know we are really good in making up stuff. We got him here questioned him and ended him. We really thought you knew some more stuff and could be more dangerous for us, but you seem equal to John. Sadly we have already burned down you house and thrown a burned body there to fake your death already. So there is no going back for you too.” Ralf said with an evil smile.
“You will burn in hell, you and your UWS!!” I screamed in anger.
“Hahaha John said the same thing and I am sure Ana does feel the same too. Oh yes she is alive by the way, all the 200 passengers are” Ralf said as he walked towards the door trying to open it.

I was charged up in anger ready to attack him. The moment he opened the door I ran as fast as I could and pushed open the door throwing Ralph down. I jumped over him and punched his nose hard, I kept punching till I saw him bleed. I took out his gun from his belt and ran as fast as I could to find my way out. The guards began to fire at me. I didn't stop, I kept running as fast as I could. The fact that Ana and the other passengers are still alive gave me hope and strength to escape and then find them all.
I saw two guards protecting a door, I knew that was my way out. I ran closer to the door, the guards began to fire. I pointed my gun at a guard and shot him, the other guard shot my shoulder. I didn't want to stop running. I quickly shot the other guard on his head and opened the door. I was finally out. I kept running not knowing where to go. I ran till I felt like the guards had lost me. I rested on a rock, the whole place looked like a jungle. I couldn’t bare the pain of the bullet but I had to keep going. I looked around, there were red flags all around the coastal border. I was on the Island which John and I had spotted.


1 Month Later
John had a plan, he knew that if the people from the mysterious Island spot us they will surely come after us. Our plan was to get spotted, as trying to enter directly would be impossible.  But that was not possible the first time and the second time was a suicide mission as John was no more with me. I waited till I was sure they spotted me. I was sure they will get me on the Memorial Day and I was all set for it. Survival was something I was not sure about, I wanted to take a chance risking my life to find her, my wife Ana.
Yes, I did escape that Island and I am still out there somewhere getting more clues to find her. UWS is out there looking for Robbie, but Robbie was murdered by them that very night giving me a new identity.
Some mysteries of life are really strange. What we see and what it actually is are two completely different stories. The National Airlines mystery is one among those stories.
I don’t need a name to survive. I just need few more clues to expose UWS and find her, my wife Ana. When it comes to my name…well, I don’t need one. They can call me Anonymous.

Valentine’s Day


It was the Valentine’s Day,
Lost he was in her eyes,
Her smile just made him wonder,
Was there anything cuter?
He walked toward her and asked her,
Are you an angel?
Because you are so heavenly,
She smiled at him and said it was sweet,
His complements had made her day,
They sat all night talking,
Looking at the stars the moon and the sky’s,
He then looked into her eyes and told her,
No matter what happens he will always love her,
Like wine will be my love he said,
It will keep getting better with the passing of time,
Would you love to drink this wine?
It’s getting late I got to go,
Was what she said,
But soon I will let you know,
He saw her smile as she walked away,
Getting into her car and then she drives away,
That night it was not the stars in the skies,
That night it was her smile and her eyes,
He was lost thinking about her,
He was lost waiting for her response.

Nights and days just passed away,
He kept wondering what she would say,
There was no call from her,
How could she just go away?
He looked for her everywhere,
Houses parks here and there,
He never gave up cause his love was true,
And a true love can never be given away,
After the passing of time he had finally found her,
Sitting at the table ahead where first he had seen her,
He asked her why she dint call him,
She then replied saying she doesn’t know him,
He laughed at first thinking she was joking,
He then looked into her eyes and asked her,
Why is she saying this and just lying,
She told him they never met before,
She then just walked away calling him a stranger,
He then followed her with a question in his mind,
Why is she doing this to him?
She then entered her house and gives her old dad a hug,
He stood at a distance then just watching her,
When she went in her dad saw him and called him near,
As he went near in her dad’s eye he saw a tear,
Are you the boy from the Valentine’s night he asked,
She told me about you on her way home,
That night as she left it was a big accident that she met,
All the memories you both shared are all gone away,
She now wakes up every day with no memories of yesterday,
No matter what happens I will always love her he said,
I will win her heart everyday no matter what it takes,
My love is true and I can never run away,
I will love her ever day in every different way,
Doesn’t matter if she doesn’t remember what happened yesterday,
I will make sure that I love her every day.

Years later on a valentine’s day,
He was lost in her eyes,
Her smile made him wonder,
Was there anything cuter?
He loved her every day in every different way,
For her making every day look like a Valentine’s day…

THE FLYING FISH




I sat near a pond wondering how tough life can be. My eyes suddenly fell on a little fish that kept swimming back and forth again and again. Looking at the fish I began to think, how similar our life is. We are scared to do something different in life because of the fear of losing what we currently have with us, be it our job or our money or even relations. So all we do is just swim back and forth in our pond just like that fish.

Many centuries ago humans began to evolve.  From the monkey man to what we are today. We moved from the Stone Age to the modern era we are living right now. Have you ever wondered what would happen if humans had just sat there in Stone Age or way before that and did the same thing over and over again? Or what if the Wright Brothers didn’t get it right? Life would have been way different if not for all of them.

Yes, the world is moving and there are many new things coming up daily in every field. But in this fast moving world there are many who are still stuck in their own pond going back and forth daily. Stuck in the pond bordered by fear of losing what they already have gained in the pond.

We have to stop being the pond fish by growing our wings of belief within selves and courage because there is an ocean out there and it is wider than the pond.  Do more of what you are good at and move beyond expectations. Swim in the ocean that has no boundaries; fly in the skies that are infinite.

A Déjà Vu

While walking on a street, have you ever felt like you have been there before? While you do something new, did you ever feel like you have done it before? For a fact it is your first time, but there is a strange feeling which we all call Déjà vu. The feeling like you have seen or experienced something before.


I walked down the stairs to the railway platform after a busy day at work. Rushing through the crowd I got myself in the train. I looked pulled out my cell to see if I had any calls, when suddenly a girl taps my shoulder.
“Hi, sorry but I couldn’t help noticing you are carrying a book based on Déjà vu. It’s funny but I felt it when I saw you. Have we met before?” She asked.
A girl hitting on me was something really new to my usual life, so I just played along.
“Yes, I look like a famous author many say that” I said to her. But in my mind I thought I should have said something better than an author, like an actor.
“I am Gail, by the way and you are?” She said giving a handshake.
“I am Carl. So the whole Deja Vu thing? What was that about?” I asked her.
“Nothing much, was just checking if anyone else remembers other than me” She said looking around.
“Remembers what? So you really have seen me before ha?” I asked her as I laughed.
“Let’s just say yes. I remember you and every single person in this train” She said looking at me.
“Interesting, so was it a dream?” I asked her.
“Dreams are not real Carl, but reality is and reality is a very big thing to be explained” She said.
I began to freak out now and wish I had just ignored her. But she was cute and I am a guy so..
“I don’t understand. Can we get down in the next station, sit over for a coffee and talk?” I asked her.
“Carl, this world is a very strange place that none of us can believe.” She said just ignoring my question.
“What are you trying to say?” I asked her losing my hopes on a coffee date.
“Let’s just say you walk out of the train and you are shot by some gunmen and killed that’s reality, but you are still alive in an alternate universe and all this is still about to happen to you. That’s the reason you feel like it all happened before.” She said looking me in the eye.
“Are you high?” I asked her with a smile.
The train stopped.
“I have to get down now” I said to her.
“No, wait get down in the next station” She said as she held my hand tight.
Coffee date hopes begin to raise again. I looked at Gail into her eyes, she was really beautiful. Her long hair flew as the train slowly started. She missed to fall holding me tighter as the train began to speedup. She was quiet light which was believable for her short height.
There suddenly was a loud sound like a gun shot from outside.
“There are gunmen firing outside” Screamed a man as the others panicked.
“How did you know that? About the gunmen” I asked Gail in fear.
“It was the Déjà vu” She said.
Suddenly there was a loud blast and huge flames of fire came closer to us. We tried to run, but we were too slow.

I woke up suddenly all sweaty in fear.
“What’s wrong little one?” asked my mom.
“A bad dream” I replied.
“Don’t worry it was just a dream, now go back to sleep. Tomorrow is a big day, my little boy will turn 7” She said.

20 Years later
I pushed myself through the crowd to get in the train like every day but suddenly I got a strange feeling. I took out my cellphone and looked around the train. My eyes suddenly fell on a cute girl. She looked familiar, I felt like I knew her. She was short, cute and had long hair that reached her waist. She too looked at me and smiled.
“Do we know each other?” She asked me.
“Yes, I look like some famous actor many say that” I said with a smile and she smiled back too. I suddenly felt like this conversation had happened before too.
“I am Gail by the way and you?”


The mysteries of life are to be solved by living and exploring.

City Of Dreams


We all have dreams...but achieving it is not easy...it has a cost, that the dreamer has to pay...
